Artist's Statement:
Nature has been incorporated into most of my work for over thirty years. Recently, I have re-activated my interest in both plein air painting and drawing the figure from life. While I continue to enjoy allowing a painting to remain in its raw sketch form, I will sometimes develop them further in the studio if it calls for greater detail.
